esisto


for the server, at least, I still exist.

Why did u post that paolo?

I'm not moaning or anything, I'm just curious.

They call it ontological insecurity. So sometime I send e-mails to myself. It's not much, I have to admit.

Ok. Thanks. I just wanted to know.

As some background I don't talk to anyone since 25 days except the newspaper seller and the janitor.

esisto - my Italian is not good. Would that translate as 'I exist'?

Do you sometimes feel that you don't exist? I have those feelings too sometimes, that the part that is conscious of itself, the 'I' has disappeared. It eventually comes back but sometimes I wander around in a kind of limbo.

I am not sure if this will make sense or not. If it does, good, if not, feel free to ignore it.

It's important that you get both physical and psychological nourishment in order to thrive.

Yes it means “I exist”. When I posted it (I wouldn’t do it in this moment) I had this bad limbo sensation.

When I started to drive I felt pleasure in not being squeezed by the car behind me, so much as I needed to have some hint that I was alive somehow. When I was in a gentle queue I also felt somehow gratified by people not trying to push me out of the queue and respecting my existence.

It was a particularly bad holiday period, TGIS, which means Thanks God it’s Sunday evening and it’all over. I will not rely anymore on my own e-mail.

I don't have any issues with the question of whether or not I do in fact exist. It's the existance of others that I've always had problems with.

Simple test to verify your existence: punch a cop.


(do not do this... if you do, it's your own damn fault for listening to me... and why anyone would listen to me is beyond me)
